A boil, also called a furuncle, is a deep folliculitis, infection of the hair follicle. It is most commonly caused by infection by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, resulting in a painful swollen area on the skin caused by an accumulation of pus and dead tissue. Boils which are expanded are basically pus-filled nodules. Individual boils clustered together are called carbuncles.
Most human infections are caused by coagulase-positive S. aureus strains, notable for the bacteria's ability to produce coagulase, an enzyme that can clot blood. Almost any organ system can be infected by S. aureus.
If the temperature of a fluid is a result of the molecules bumping into one another, why doesn't stirring or shaking a glass of water make it boil? Or at least raise its temperature?
Thanks for any help with this!
(I know that it's easier to get water to boil att lower pressure...)
The goal is to get the water to an temperature of 100 degress celsius in the most effective way.
Then If you raise the pressure(with a pump), is it possible to get the water to the right temperature with less energy?!?

I read of an experiment in which people actually timed how long it took water to boil, if it was watched and not watched. The results were that indeed watched water boiled faster. Now at first this blew my mind because I can't believe no one had tried it before, or maybe they have it was just...
